Chapter 69 – Monsters Hiding in Buildings (1)
The morning was bright. Forage mafia, please open your eyes.
“Knife weather.”
─Break!
I woke up at dawn before the sun came out. The morning of the people of this world was so early.
“Nor. Did you sleep well?”
Fran said while brushing her hair while looking in the mirror.
He was already wearing all his clothes. Did you wake up earlier than me? For some reason Fran goes to bed later than me and always seems to wake up earlier than me in the morning.
The person himself said, ‘I always fall asleep while watching Nord’s sleeping face,’ but if I hadn’t been a good forager in the new country, Frank would have suffered from lack of sleep.
“I always sleep well. When I sleep with you Fran.”
I said as I got out of bed and stretched. When I said that, Frank smiled and was delighted.
“Lol. Nor sometimes said such happy words casually.”
“Is it? It must be overflowing with love and leaking out of your mouth.”
After warming up, I quickly changed my clothes.
─Such.
Fran quietly came and helped me put on the armor. It made me a little concerned because he acted as if he had to be like this.
“Franc. I can wear it alone.”
“But if I help you, will it be faster?”
Fran said with a feeling that she was doing something like this. It was motherly love. It’s not because she’s a wise mother, but it feels like she’s taking care of her son.
They say that when a child is born, the person who will go to the husband will go to the child.
But at that time, I felt like I would feel empty and suicidal every day due to the drop from now.
─Clap.
I got dressed and went downstairs to eat. These days, Fran wakes me up so I don’t miss the free breakfast. I had a good day because I ate breakfast.
“Let’s request a bronze promotion today.”
I said while stirring the stew. The time has come to re-challenge the promotion match that was postponed because of the murderous robbers.
“After confirming the request, buy four new weapons, and in the meantime, buy a watch.”
“Watch?”
“It is convenient to have. I guess I’ll have to see the price range.”
Fran noticed my words, so I quickly hit the ball.
“I’ll pay for the weapons and watches, so don’t say you don’t have money or that I’m fine.”
“Oops. How did you know?”
“It’s not just once or twice, you know. Let’s not do this every time we do something.”
“What Norre said earlier when I tried to help me get dressed.”
“That and this are different.”
The weapon is what I broke, and the watch is a necessity. I said while counting the number of meats in the soup.
“Let’s finish eating and go quickly. Before all the good quests are taken away.”
***
We went to the adventurer’s guild and confirmed the promotion test request.
1. Defeat goblins in Perfort Village.
2. Wagon escort to Haysbent – Merchant McPhee.
3. Wagon Escort to Haysbent – Blacksmith Guild.
4. To Haysbent──
No, why are there so many fucking escort requests? Was it a fake request, not an escort request?
“Most of them are escort requests.”
I was dumbfounded when I asked, and the receptionist answered with an aura like an office worker who went to work in the morning.
“Recently, one of the thugs who were committing atrocities was destroyed. In the aftermath, it seems that the activities of the merchants have become more active while the thieves have been slowing down.”
Ah. I and Tirsi found it in one night, killed it and set it on fire, so I was scared and calmed down.
Do merchants hire idiots to save money and hire idiots to avoid being screwed? In fact, even a small surplus would be better than piling up or running through bad inventory.
“Most of the requests go to Haysbent.”
Fran, who was standing on tiptoe and eagerly reading the request document on the table, spoke.
“Nor. How about taking one of the carriage escort quests?”
Fran who makes eye contact while saying so. It was easy to see what he was trying to say. About my thesis.
“Do all transport guilds pass through Haysbent?”
“Yes.”
Fran nodded. Unlike me who came by boat, peddlers move by land. It was because I had to take a replenishment or rest in the middle.
In other words, it is the same whether I do my dissertation at Sargadis or Haysbent.
No, as the distance is shortened, wouldn’t the risk of damage or loss slightly decrease?
‘Fuck. Now that I think about it, this is the reason why field positions are given half a year.’
And! For on-site positions, a regular report every 6 months is enough! Isn’t this fucking sweet?
I thought so, but it wasn’t sweet at all.
Trouble broke out during delivery, so the thesis was moving from Bermuda’s Okcheon Zone-Delivery-Ah! I lost your courier! Ekkyun☆ gave me 6 months to spare when he said shit. That’s what I mean by losing it in the middle.
It’s fortunate that it’s domestic, but field workers working abroad may feel that half a year is short.
It takes about a month to send and receive letters asking if my thesis was delivered properly. The moment the dissertation delivery fails 2 times, fuck it.
A warning from the academia, saying, “You’re not doing your job,” Will come flying like a swallow that Nolbu broke its leg.
“Request an escort. That would be fine too.”
I thought about it and said. It’s great in that it reduces the chances of your thesis running off the rails.
In addition, if there were so many escorted wagons, even thieves would not be able to attack them. I’m trying to team up with the souls from the front, but another wagon and its escort will attack from behind.
It is unlikely that youngsters who live by relying only on the number of pages will take the risk of being hit by the number of pages. Real assholes will run over the wagon.
‘Then this is a season-limited burning event.’
The most delicious soybean rice in the world is soybean rice cooked without soybeans.
By the same logic, the best subjugation quest in the world was a subjugation quest that didn’t subdue. The wagon escort was given as a subjugation request because monsters and thieves were woven together as a set, but in reality, it was highly likely to suck honey.
And while taking care of the fucking important promotion match!
“Franc. Let’s take it as our carriage escort.”
“Good idea. Then what would you like the other one for?”
“Yes? Are you two right now?”
You only have to try the promotion test 3 times and succeed 2 times. It’s not like there’s a time limit so I’m impatient, so can’t I do it later?
“After a few days, there won’t be any requests to escort the wagon. I thought it would be nice to plan things that fit the schedule.”
Fran showed the request and said. In a few days, all the other buggers will sweep away the escort request, or the requester will cancel the request.
There were six wagon escort requests that were currently being applied for. Among them, if you choose the one that departs the fastest and the one that departs 4 or 5 days later, in theory, you should be able to receive both wagon escorts.
My girlfriend has been going out for requests every day for over a month, so she seems to have a knack for making plans like this.
‘Looks like they’re planning a vacation during the peak season.’
It seemed like a good suggestion. I said to the receptionist.
“Can I take the two requests listed here together?”
“It is possible, but if you do not attend the request, it will be considered a failure. At that time, you may lose a small penalty.”
“Really? Then quit.”
After listening to the receptionist’s explanation, Fran gave up neatly. Frank laughed at my gaze.
“There was no request that could not be received with more than two days to spare. If I’m late for even a day, I don’t think I’ll be able to meet the requested time.”
“Because something unexpected could happen and the return may be delayed. It’s a waste, but I have no choice but to give up.”
“Yes. So, let’s carefully select the available quests.”
Fran’s eyes grew serious, like a mother choosing food for her children. But she’s on tiptoe, so she’s cute. Unfortunately.
Flutter- Flutter-.
Missing the peak escort request season, we rummaged through the request form.
‘There are also several goblin extermination requests.’
If you take your eyes off this bastard’s otherworldly green jammins for a moment, they multiply again. Anyway, they are like mosquitoes.
But in reality, it can be said that these are the main means of earning a living for the beutakki.
Goblins are pests to some, but to others they are creatures that help maintain their livelihood. Just as there are no pests, there are no Cisco employees.
‘Rather than that, where else is Perfort Village?’
That was the longest neglected goblin extermination request.
Perfort, Perfort. I looked up the place name on a map.
‘Is it pretty close from here?’
A day’s walk away Similar to Haysbent in terms of distance. If I had to force a comparison, Perfort would be a bit further away.
So it seems to have been filtered out. Since the pay was the same for the same day’s distance, everyone must have been pushed back by the wagon escort. Most of the bugs from the Audumla Guild would have gone to Heys Bent, and there will be some cubs who won’t come back because they’re working there too.
“Oh.”
At that time, Fran was surprised to see the request at the back.
“Nor. Look at this It’s an escort request from the Transport Guild.”
“They?”
I was also curious, so I checked the request form. I wondered if the one-armed young man I saved had submitted a request, but it was the correct answer.
[With 2 children (to be escorted). There is one silver class escort.]
[Employment Target: Bronze class 4 people. Compensation 30 coopers.]
The peculiarity of the request was that much.
There are Silver class adventurers, and they hire 4 Bronzes, and the pay is high.
“It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”
“Right?”
Frank and I agreed.
The group that failed the first time thoroughly prepares for the same task in order to prevent the second failure. There are groups that don’t, but the one-armed young man from the transport guild seemed to be fully prepared.
Since it says ‘with children’, it must be so. To bring the children who were kidnapped by the thugs home safely.
“I even hired a silver class to go to Haysbent. Are you sure you want to make up for your mistake by making this transport a success?”
Said Fran. Looking at the request submission date, it was a request that had just arrived today. Even so, I got 2 of them.
If you miss this now, you will never get it next time. It’s a very good condition, so other guys will take it.
“Kuhm-hmm.”
A middle-aged adventurer lined up behind cleared his throat. It was an expression asking me to hurry up and get out of the way. It’s because we were sluggish at the reception desk.
Shit, I was causing a nuisance without knowing it. I need to pick it up quickly and get out of the way.
“Franc. Let’s do this And I’m thinking of taking another request, how about this one?”
“Like what?”
I picked up the goblin extermination request sent by the villagers of Perfort. Fran, who was reading the conditions, nodded her head.
“If you pay 20 coopers and take two round trips, there will be no problem.”
“The transport guild wagon escort departs in four days, so if it’s two days away, there will be problems, so it might be a day late. Fran, are you okay with this request too?”
“Yes. As long as Nord is good, I’m fine with anything.”
“Ugh. Our franc is so nice.”
─ Side!
I hugged Fran, who said lovely words, and kissed her on the cheek. Fran blushed and was shy. Then, the expression of the adventurer Ajae, who was waiting behind him, became a bitch.
Why? Are you twisted? If you do, you and your wife are adventurers.
It is written in the Norse constitution that couples are obliged to show affection even in public places.
We received two requests like that and applied.
***
After finishing business in the guild, I came to Clara’s forge. I came to get a new weapon for the franc I had broken.
“Welcome!”
Clara, who had been lying dead on the counter, jumped up to welcome us. Is the business still not doing well?
“Oh! You are the adventurer who came last time! How you doing?”
“It was fine. After buying equipment here, I got a lover. So I came today hoping for good things to happen.”
“I am glad to hear that! What did you come for today?!”
“Here, a weapon for my girlfriend—”
“You are a dwarf! Wait! I have a good weapon!!”
─Udang-tang-tang!!
Before Clara could finish her words, she went golden into her forge to get her weapons. She felt a sense of urgency to never miss her first guest.
Fran, who was watching the scene, said with a worried tone.
“Is your business not doing well?”
